The House of Representatives voted to regulate digital currencies and protect their owners on Thursday during what many lawmakers called "crypto week."

House passage of the measures marks a breakthrough for the digital assets sector and sends one of the bills to President Donald Trump.

Crypto companies such as Coinbase Global and Circle have sought legislation to bring regulatory clarity to their businesses after costly battles with regulators under the Biden administration. They found allies in Trump and many Republicans after pouring money into last year’s election.
